I am 5 days post op. I got my drain out today. And literally ever since I have been feeling soooooooo hungry. Omg. I tried "eating" a little more of my broth, didn't help. Tried doing a protein shake, hasn't helped. And I'm feeling hangry and just want to eat [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]. Has anyone else had this problem.? Please tell me it goes away. I've been doing good not really feeling hunger, but today is horrible !!! [emoji24][emoji24]

I am a week post op and I get random stomach cramps that I assume are from the healing process. They feel almost exactly like hunger pangs, but when the subside, I know I'm not hungry.

I am not trying to tell you that you aren't hungry, because you may very well be. Hang in there!

I get it! The pre-op liquid diet was a breeze for me, but the 2 weeks of post-op liquid diet drove me nuts! I fely hungry, but NOT physically hungry. I was dealing with mad head hunger. It didn't help me that there seemed to be food/recipe videos and ads everywhere. A good friend of mine actually made and sent over 2 weeks of meals for my son and he took care of heating them up, so I did not even have to cook (!!), bless her!!!

What finally helped me deal with my head hunger madness SO much was journaling about what I was feeling, making sure I got my full water and protein in, AND watching and taking notes on a video by the great and hilarious Dr. Duc Vuong on How to Deal with Hunger After WLS. Here is a link to it:
